Description
This is the Acorn Tonal cushion, a 50 x 50cm square woven in a textured jacquard from 100% polyester. The design is a mirrored pattern of acorn branches, based on the 1879 Acorn drawing from William Morris's archive, rendered here not as a print but as a jacquard weave, so the pattern comes from the cloth itself rather than sitting on the surface. On this ivory colourway the branches read as a soft tonal cream against a paler white ground, giving it depth without any strong contrast.
A 50 x 50cm square is the standard, most versatile cushion size, which makes this one easy to place. It sits well on a sofa or an armchair, and pairs comfortably with plain upholstery in cream, white or natural, where the tonal weave gives quiet interest without competing for attention. Because the colours stay close together it works in a calm, neutral room, and the botanical motif brings a touch of English hedgerow into a living room, a reading corner or a bedroom without demanding a whole scheme built around it.
The cushion is double-sided, so the same acorn design runs across front and back and you can turn it without losing the pattern. A soft rope trim runs the full seam, framing the edge, and there is a zip closure so the cover comes off easily when it needs freshening. Being 100% polyester, the fabric is hard-wearing, holds its shape and resists creasing, which suits a cushion that gets leaned on daily. Acorn also appears as a jacquard across curtains, cushions and throws, so you can build the look out across a room if you wish.
